Pentagon planners gird for cyber assault
In a large windowless room of a nondescript office building
a few miles from the Pentagon, the war of the future is being
waged. The field of battle is several dozen flat-screen
computer monitors that show Department of Defense communications.
Six screens display selected computer traffic, though one during
a recent visit was tuned to the Weather Channel. If fears of a
concerted cyber attack on the U.S. military are realized - what
Deputy Defense Secretary John Hamre has called an "electronic
Pearl Harbor" - this room, the Global Network Operations and
Security Center, is where the battle will be won. Or lost.

Asia urged to stop crime via Internet
Asian nations should take action to prevent criminals using
the Internet to launder their ill-gotten money, a leading
Thai research institute said yesterday. The Thailand
Development Research Institute (TDRI) warned that quick
action was needed to prevent Internet money laundering,
as e-commerce gains popularity throughout the region.
